Non-Resident, Non Filer Streamlined Procedure for U.S. Persons

Since June 2012, the IRS has administered a streamlined filing program to allow non-compliant U.S. persons to become compliant with their tax filing obligations. The program requires a U.S. person to file the last three years of personal income tax returns, as well as the last six years of Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBARs). Additional reports may be required based on the specific taxpayer’s situation. There is also a questionnaire and potentially specific declarations that need to accompany the filing package.
